Join us for Round-Up for Riders the 1st Friday in August, at River Ranch in the Historic Fort Worth.

Celebrate the Equestrians of Wings of Hope Equitherapy at the annual Round-Up for Riders Party With A Purpose! Join us for an evening of Texas cuisine, cocktails, and entertainment. You'll enjoy hosted beverages, a delicious 3-course spread, games, live entertainment, dancing, live and silent auctions, and more! Event attendance is complimentary with an opportunity to give. You do not want to miss this annual Party With A Purpose event
benefiting the Equestrians and Equine Service Partners of Wings of Hope. Your support and attendance at this event will provide the partnership of horses and humans. Wings of Hope was founded in 1996 to provide inclusion for those with disabilities, specifically for children and adults with physical, mental or emotional challenges through the partnership of a horse. The partnership of a horse allows those with disabilities the opportunity to explore new ways to navigate independence, to gain tools and skills to sharpen and enhance abilities, to discover strengths and address challenges. The partnership breaks down barriers for someone who has experienced isolation and exclusion through their disability. We serve as an advocate for meeting individuals for where they are in life with a focus on abilities rather than disabilities.

🐴 1 Day Until Round-Up for Riders

Reason #1: Because every client deserves someone who believes in them.

Before the confidence...

Before the independence...

Before the milestones...

Someone has to believe they're possible.

At Wings of Hope, we believe in every client who walks through our gates, sometimes even before they believe in themselves.

We believe in the child finding their voice.

The veteran rediscovering purpose.

The adult overcoming fear.

The family searching for hope.

And tomorrow night, we hope you'll believe in them, too.

For 30 years, this community has made moments like these possible by simply saying yes.

Tomorrow, you have the chance to become part of that story.

Thank you for believing in our clients.
Thank you for believing in our horses.
Thank you for believing in the healing power of hope.

We'll see you tomorrow at Round-Up for Riders. 💙🐴

🐴 **2 Days Until Round-Up for Riders**

🌈Reason #2: Because one moment can change a life.🌟

Sometimes it's a child saying their first words.

Sometimes it's taking a first independent step.

Sometimes it's finding the confidence to look someone in the eye... or believing in yourself for the very first time.

Those moments don't happen by accident.

They happen because someone chose to give.
Someone chose to volunteer.
Someone chose to show up.

This Friday, you'll have the opportunity to be that someone.

Every bid, every raffle ticket, every donation, every seat filled helps create the moments our riders and their families will remember forever.

You may never know exactly whose life you changed.

But because you said **yes**, someone else will have a moment they'll never forget.

💙 Join us Friday as we celebrate 30 years of changing lives, one moment at a time.

🐴 3 Days Until Round-Up for Riders🐴

❤️Reason #3: Because this community shows up when it matters most.❤️

For 30 years, Wings of Hope has never been just about horses.

It's been about neighbors helping neighbors.
Businesses stepping up.
Volunteers giving their time.
Families cheering each other on.
And a community that continues to say "yes" whenever it's needed most.

That's exactly why we're so honored to have Melissa Miller, President of the Burleson Area Chamber of Commerce,** serving as our 2026 Honorary Chair.

Melissa believes in bringing people together, strengthening our community, and supporting organizations that make a lasting difference, values that perfectly reflect what Round-Up for Riders is all about.

This Friday, we invite you to join her and hundreds of community members as we celebrate 30 years of changing lives, share an incredible evening together, and help ensure Wings of Hope can continue serving families for the next 30 years.

Because when this community shows up...
amazing things happen. 💙

🎟️ There's still time to reserve your seat, we'd love to celebrate with you!

🐴 4 Days Until Round-Up for Riders🐴

🌟Reason #4: Because hope is waiting at the end of the driveway.🌟

For some, it's just another place to pull into.

For others, it's the place where anxiety starts to quiet down.
Where confidence begins to grow.
Where challenges become victories.
Where they're greeted by a horse that somehow always knows exactly what they need.

Every week, families make the drive to Wings of Hope knowing that when they turn down that driveway, they're coming to a place where they're accepted, encouraged, and reminded that anything is possible.

On August 7, you can help make sure that driveway leads to hope for many more families.

🎟️ Join us for Round-Up for Riders as we celebrate 30 years of changing lives—one horse, one rider, and one "yes" at a time.

Because hope isn't just something we believe in...
Sometimes, it's waiting at the end of the driveway. 💙

💙 **5 Days Until Round-Up for Riders**

**Reason #5: Because the best therapists don't always speak.**

Communication isn't always spoken.

A horse can tell you when they're curious.

When they're nervous.

When they trust you.

When they need you to slow down.

Not with words, but with every movement, every breath, every step.

Many of our riders communicate in ways the world doesn't always recognize, too.

At Wings of Hope, we believe every form of communication matters.

That's why we teach our riders to understand the language of the horse... and just as importantly, we learn the language of each rider.

Some conversations happen without a single word being spoken.

Yet they build confidence.

Trust.

Connection.

And healing.

For 30 years, our horses have been helping people discover that being understood has never depended on speaking the loudest.

💙 **Because the best therapists don't always speak.**

🎟️ Join us on **August 7** as we celebrate 30 years of changing lives.

08/01/2026

💙 **6 Days Until Round-Up for Riders**

**Reason #6: Because independence is something worth fighting for.**

Independence looks different for every client.

For one person, it might be sitting tall in the saddle without assistance.

For another, it's steering their horse for the very first time.

It might be speaking with confidence, making a decision independently, building strength to accomplish everyday tasks, or believing, *"I can do this."*

At Wings of Hope, we celebrate every step toward independence, no matter how big or how small.

Because those moments don't stay in the arena.

They follow our clients home.

Into classrooms.

Into workplaces.

Into relationships.

Into everyday life.

For 30 years, we've watched horses help people discover strengths they never knew they had, and every milestone reminds us why this mission matters.

💙 **Because independence is something worth fighting for.**

🎟️ Join us on **August 7** for Round-Up for Riders as we celebrate 30 years of changing lives—and help make the next milestone possible.

07/31/2026

💙 **7 Days Until Round-Up for Riders**

**Reason #7: Because no rider is ever turned away because of their inability to pay.**

At Wings of Hope, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to experience the life-changing connection between horse and human.

For 30 years, we've made one simple promise:

**No client is ever turned away because of their inability to pay.**

That promise is only possible because our community continues to say **yes**.

The sponsors, donors, volunteers, and supporters featured below aren't just supporting an event, they're helping ensure that a family's financial circumstances never stand in the way of hope, healing, and opportunity.

They are the reason we can continue saying "yes."

To every business, organization, and individual who has chosen to stand beside us this year... thank you.

You are changing lives.

💙 **Because no rider should ever be denied hope because of their ability to pay.**

🎟️ Join us on **August 7** as we celebrate 30 years of changing lives, and the community that makes it all possible.

🎉 **8 Days Until Round-Up for Riders**

**Reason #8: Because hope is worth celebrating.**

For 30 years, we've celebrated so much more than milestones.

We've celebrated first rides.

First words.

First independent laps around the arena.

Goals that once felt impossible becoming reality.

We've celebrated horses finding new purpose, volunteers discovering a passion for serving others, and families finding a place where they are seen, supported, and loved.

None of those moments happened by accident.

They happened because a community chose to believe in hope.

On **August 7**, we're not just gathering for an auction or a fundraiser.

We're gathering to celebrate 30 years of lives changed, friendships formed, challenges overcome, and a mission that continues to grow because of people like you.

Whether you've been part of the Wings of Hope family for decades or you're joining us for the very first time, we'd love to celebrate with you.

💙 **Because hope is worth celebrating.**

🎉 **9 Days Until Round-Up for Riders**

**Reason #9: Because the auction tables are waiting.**

Right now, our auction tables may be empty...

But in just nine days, they'll be overflowing with incredible packages, unique experiences, and one-of-a-kind items, all made possible by the generosity of our amazing community partners.

Every item represents a local business that chose to say **yes** to our mission.

Every donation represents someone who believes in the life-changing work happening at Wings of Hope.

And every winning bid helps ensure we can continue serving children and adults through equine-assisted services, regardless of their ability to pay.

💙 A heartfelt thank you to the businesses featured below for helping make this year's auction one to remember. Your generosity is changing lives long before the first bid is ever placed.

Who knows... your next favorite experience, vacation, dinner date, or unique treasure might be waiting for you at one of these tables!

💙 **Because the auction tables are waiting.**

🎟️ Join us on **August 7** for Round-Up for Riders and celebrate 30 years of changing lives.
